We were under the impression that we booked a studio for two, including kitchen, but we ended up in a much smaller room, without kitchen. It seems that the discription on the website does not entirely match with the actual rooms. Although we didn't get what we thought we initially booked, the stay was pleasant. Good location, nice garden-setting, quiet but with a wide range, reaturants, bars and other shops around the corner. Beach within 15 mins. walking distance. Friendly and helpful owner.

It is perfect for who like quite and silence . It is small and located in a beautiful place with nice garden . It is close to praia mole and good restaurants . The owners are really kind and frendly , perfect for couples , they have a room with nice view on lagoa . Good braekfast , really I recommend this place .

We felt very much at home in this nice and cosy place. It feels more like a home than a hostel but still private because it is apart from the rest of the house. Perfect location on the island. Very helpful and friendly owners. The breakfast was also very good. We could not have found a better place.

Dieter and Annemarie are an amazing and friendly couple that receive us like if we were part of the family. They provided additional space in the garage for the rented scooter and safe place for the surf boards. The breakfast was excellent, great variety, fresh fruits, I miss it so much!!!

Studio Formana was a lovely place to stay in Florianopolis, within close distance of Lagao de Conceicao and the beaches. The owners made me feel very welcome and ensured I had everything I needed. The breakfasts were to die for, both with the lovely food and the amazing view. All in all, a great little place

I had a great stay in their Studio. The view is simply amazing as the owners as well. When I left they just came home with a new bed, probably for the smaller room... so there should not be any issue anymore with the small room (see other comment). Thanks for all!

Highly recommend this place. It was like we stayed at a favourite relatives house for the week! They are so helpful and friendly. Make sure you go out for a day on their boat to see the island a little better. Every morning your breakfast is delivered and you eat it out on the porch watching the beautiful view of the lake!!! A very cosy little studio perfect for couples or 2 friends wanting a relaxing peaceful holiday!

We had a great time at studio formana, the place and the view are beautiful. The hosts are very kind and helpfull, even when I got sick they took good care of us. :-) We recommend this hostel / studio to everyone!
Thanks for the great time Dieter and Annemarie!

We had some bad weather and a bad trip when we came in but they made us more then welcome! They arranged a rental car and made sure the driver brought us to the hostel (and back when we left). The rest was very easy going, warm and helpfull. they invited us at their dinner table to give all tips & suggestions. The room was more than ok, a warm cousy place with stunning view on the lake from our little terras.
Would recommend this place to anyone!
